Neatness in Girls.

Neatness is a good thing for girl,
and il she does not learn it when she
is young, she never will. 1t takes a
great deal more neatness to make a
girl look well than it does to make
boy look passable. Not because
boy to start with, is better looking
than a girl, but his clothes are Of diff
ferent sort, not so many colors in
them and people don't expect boy
to look SO pretty as a girl. A girl that
is not neatly dressed is called a sloven,
and no one likes to look at her. Her
face may be pretty, and her eyes
bright, but if there is q spot on her
cheek, and her fingers ends are black
with ink, and her shoes are not laced
or buttoned up, and her apron is dirty,
and her collars is not buttoned, land
her shirt is torn, she cannot be liked.
l went into little girls room once,
and all her clothes were on the floor,
and her playthings, too, Learn to be
neat, and when you have learned it, it
will almost take care OF itself.

Strange Proceedings.

About nine o'clock last Friday night
a stranger drove up to the spring Of
Mr.. Earnest Fain, two miles east Of
town, and asked to have his horses fed.
His request was granted. The stran-
ger had young lady in the buggy
with him. Mr.. Fain asked her into
the house, but the man said no that
she would stay there. The woman
was evidently tied in the buggy.
The man lay down by the side Of
the buggy, and went to sleep and new
er woke up until about daylight the
next morning. The hands on the
farm were going to the stable to feed
their horses saw the woman still sit.
ting in the buggy where she had been
all night. The man reused up, hitch.
ed up his horses and started up the
Carter's Valley road at a rapid gate.
He had two large pistols buckled
around his waste. The lady was
young and beautiful. They were seen
by parties up the road, and were still
going at rapid gate. They were evil

Fain came to town next morning and
reported the fact to Deputy Sheriff AL

start of him to overtake them.
The man was we'll dressed, about 33
or 35 years of age, handsome, with

Free Instruction Ina Highway
Construction.

The question OF system of inn
proved public roads is one so closely
related to every material interest of
the State as to place it properly
among the most important questions
of public economy. The science of
road making and maintaining, though
neither difficult nor abstruse, is never
theess based on principles so well
established and so unvarying in their
operation, as to render their thorough
comprehension an essential to success
in securing and maintaining public
roads, at once efficient and economi-
cal, whatever the administrative sys-
tenn under which they are constructed.
In other countries the superinten-
dence of public highways is recog-
nized as an important and responsible
duty, and is usually assigned to
specially trained, expert government
engineers, ewhile in the United States,
where the greater mileage makes the
economy, if not the efficiency, of roads
even more important than abroad, the
States depend for this responsible SER
vice on private citizens locally and
Temporarily appointed to the duty,
without having provided for them the
technical instruction and training so
essential to success under any system.
To offer such as desire it, an oppor-
tunity to make good in part this de-

Vanderbilt University will admit free

eering one principal or deputy high

Farm Hints for September.

The general testimony is in favor of
early sowing OF wheat. 1t is OF the
first Importance to prepare a good
seed-bed, using the harrow and roller
until the soil is thoroughly pulverized
No good farmer will SOW wheat broad
cast. If he cannot afford to own q
drill he can hire one, and the saving
in seed will pay for the rent of the
machine. One great benefit from the
use of the drill is that it puts the
seed at uniform depth below the
surface. Do not change the kind of
wheat without good reason. If va
riety is highly praised, an d appears tc
be better than that now grown, try q
small quantity, giving it the same
soil and care as the general crop, SOW
ing enough to give seed for next year
should it turn out well 4. There is
in most localities, frost about the
latter ofthis month. This catches the
buckwheat when the flower clusters
are still in bloom, while at the lower
part of the cluster there is is ripened
grain. II the crop is cut when frost
appears to be imminent, and placed
in good-sized gapels, the partly ma
tured grain will go on and ripen. -.
The root crops will grow rapidly these
cool nights, and may still be thinned
to advantage, OF course keeping them
clear of late weeds. :. In localitie.
where there are early frosts, cutting
up corn will be the most important

GIRLS COLUMN.
A Girls Voice.

Miss Mulock says in her King Ar
thur that "a pleasant voice is even bet
ter to live with than pretty face"
In this she echoes Shakespeare's SEN
timent where he says of Cordelia,
Her voice was ever soft, gentle, aid
low-an excellent thing in woman"
The need of cultivating an agreeable
voice is thus emphasized in new
book, called Hold Up Your Heads,
Girls" by Annie H. Ryder:
Good conversation is the mark of
highest culture. This is why, in spite
of shabby dresses, unbanged hair,
tremendous mouths and large noses
some persons are purely delightful.
We have seen that is so, yet have not
added something lies in the voice as
well as in the manners and words, Of
such people. From nervousness, and
other causes which, have not been
able to trace, girls are apt to pitch
their voices too high, as though they
thought to be better able to speak dis.
tinctly. A gluff, manish voice is
worse than piping, shril tone in a
woman but fullness of tone prevents
no melody, and this comes from a
medium pitch. In the very modula
tions of the voice are detected excel
lence and refinement. The human
voice, in its sounds and accents, is 8
record of character; trust it as The
key board of the human being.
May l remind you here, girls, o
the harm arising from loud talk il
public places? How many times dc
we suffer annoyance from the NOISY
voices in the car, the stations or OF
the street, How bold and immodes
such tones are. Some persons seem t,
think the public is not to be regarded
and that it has no right to criticism
They appear to belive that train il
no different than an open field, wher,
the voice needs no restraint, ant
where manners are not the most rein
